Hello, I was wondering if you could give me some advice. I have had my grey since June of 2009. We decided to let Winston grow his feathers out and learn to fly. He has been doing great and seems to enjoy it. So the problem is that we also have two other cages, one cage is for our parakeets and the other is for our Patagonian Conure. The conure is about 8 years old and has flown around in our house all of her life. Now that Winston has fight he is flying onto our Conures cage and if she is out on top of her cage Winston tries to attack her. It's a big deal cause we don't want her to get hurt and so we run over there (which gets everybody all excited, our dog and the birds) and grab our bird stick and get Winston to do a step up. Also when Winston flies onto the parakeet cage he tries to attack them through the bars of the cage. I don't understand why he is being so "protective" or "aggressive". I'm at a loss of what to do and I would rather not trim his wing feather to where he can't fly cause I feel it's important for birds to have their flight. What do you all think I should do in this situation. Thanks,
